Dear Sir, 

Please accept my best thanks for the copy of your excel¬ 
lent Sanskrit poem the “Jubilee-Pramodika.” It does credit 
to your Sanskrit scholarship and shaws your loyalty and de¬ 
votion to our Gracious Sovereign. I have always held that 
the only Eastern Language in which modern ideas can be 

faithfully rendered is Sanskrit* your book is an illustration 

of it. You have admirably succeeded in describing the events 
of Her Majesty’s reign in simple and flowing Shlokes. I am 

sure the book will be very acceptable even to Pandits unfa¬ 
miliar with western thoughts. Your description of the Dehh 
Imperial Assemblage as Indraprasth Rajsuya is a happy com¬ 
bination of two events in the ancient and modern history of 
our country. I sincerely hope you will continue your literary 
labors under the distinguished patronage of Maharaja Dhiraj 
Colonel Sir Partap Singh Ji. K. C. S. I. and wjll favour me 
with copies of any books you may bring out. I am deeply in- 





















( 21 )

Wishing on you every success.

My Dear Sir, 

I am obliged to you for your kindness in sending the Sans¬ 
krit poems in honor of the Duke of Connaught and of Lord 
Dufferin. 

I regret to say that as I do not know Sanskrit I miss much 
of the merit of the poems. Still I can understand from the 
translation that the poems are worthy of the occasion for 
which they were written, and this I think is a high praise. 

Believe me,

Dear Sir, 

I read your Sanskrit poem on the (Jubilee) with great in¬ 
terest. I admire your power of wielding the Sanskrit language 
to an art to which we poor Melachhas cannot aspire. We are 
satisfied with reading Sanskrit, we do not attempt to write it 
except on rare occasion. We are students of History, and 
want to learn what your great ancestors thought and wrote 
on the great problems of life. But we are pleased to see that 
the spirit of the ancient Rishis is not quite extinct, and look 
forward to a great future for the gifted sons of Aryavartta. I 
have deposited one copy of the testimonials of the Benares 
Pandits in the Library of our University. 

I remain, with best thanks, 

Yours faithfully, 

F. MAX MULLER. 

Dear Sir, 

I have to thank you for your note of the 18th and copies 
of address. Dr. Peterson informs me that the Sanskrit is cor¬

languages of the land, where he has come with such respon¬ 
sible duties as his lot for the next few years.

Lunawada, 30th May 1889. 

My'Dear Guruji 

I was very much pleased by the perusal of your Sanskrit 
book (The Jubilee-Pramodika) which you were good enough 
to send me as a present. The book is interesting in itself in 
as much as it deals with almost all the benefits conferred on 
the Natives of India, during the fifty years of Her Most Gra¬ 
cious Majesty the Queen Empress’s auspicious reign. Some 
mention is also made of the members of the Royal Family & 
of the famous English Victories and Durbars held in India. 
I can safely say that the book reflects great credit on your li¬ 
terary attainments in Sanskrit, and proclaims your genuine 
loyalty & thorough devotion to Her Majesty. Although the 
work is a very difficult task, yet it is nothing before you who 
learnt Sanskrit at Benares for a very long time. I send many 
thanks to H. H. the Maharaja Sahib of Jodhpur, G. C. S. I. 
who in appreciation of the learning of men like you, has con¬ 
ferred on you a distinction of honor in the shape of foot gold 
ring. For your loyalty and for your being a well-wisher of 
our British Government you will, I hope, obtain a still greater 
title of honor.

which you composed in honour of Her Majesty’s Jubilee and 
were good enough-to send me. The work shows your ability 
in Sanskrit as is evident from the letters you have received 
from high officials of Government. 

Blessed is the State where such'able Pandits are. I hope 
our Government will appreciate your loyal expressions by con¬ 
ferring any title of learning upon-you. 

I shall be glad to see you, if you will kindly come here. I 
sent a telegram to His Highness Maharaja Kishore Singhji, 
Commander in-chief, asking him kindly to send you here. As 








( 45 ) 


you are the Guru of the said Maharaja so I also hold you in 
the same position. 

Believe me. 

Yours truly, 

BIJAI SEIY, 

Raja of Mandi. 


Mdndd, 19th January, 1889. 

Dear Sir, 

Please accept my best thanks for the kind present of a 
copy of your (Jubilee-Pramodika) forwarded with your letter 
of the 14th instant. Men who are regarded as authorities on 
Oriental Classics have unanimously testified to the high merits 
of your book, and it would be superfluous for me to add any¬ 
thing more to their verdict. I may, however, remark that 
your thorough mastery of Sanskrit has enabled you to express 
even modern ideas in that ancient language in a manner 
highly creditable both to you and the State you belong to. 
The numerous blessings which the British Govt- has conferred 
on India & its people, though appreciated by many, could not 
have been so well and lucidly described, but by a man of 
your parts. As a Sanskrit poet & Astrologer you are too well 
known to need any comment from me. I have read your 
book with more than usual interest, not simply, because it is 
a work of merit but, because it breathes a spirit of thorough 
loyalty and devotion to our August Sovereign. You well 
deserve recognition at the hands of our Government, who, I 
doubt not will appreciate your merit and loyal sentiments.

As you are the Spiritual Guide of the Jodhpur Royal Fa¬ 
mily, I too hold you in the same light, for both the houses of 
Jodhpur and Manda are from one and the same stock.

I remain, 

Yours sincerely, 
RAMPRATAP SINHA, 
Maharaja of Manner, District Allahabad. 


Dear Sir, 

In reply to your letter of the 15th September last, I am 
directed to write to you to say that His Highness the Nawab 
Sahib has been much pleased to receive a copy of your (Jubi- 
lee-Pramodika) with opinions of the press and copy of letters 
sent by you, as a present to His Highness. 

I am further directed to say that the book is a good com¬ 
pilation of a brief account of the progress of civilization, arts, 
and prosperity of the country under the long and happy reign 
of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen-Empress, and that 
much credit is due to you for placing it before the public. 

With goods wishes, 

By order, 

I am,—Yours truly,

I placed your “Jubilee-Pramodika” before His Highness

His Highness. The Raja Saheb read your book wholly and 
listened its English translation also, and became very glad and 
ordered me to convey his thanks to you for the book. Every 
line of the hook shows loyalty to the Queen Empress. Baja 
Saheb regrets for the delay in acknowledgement. His High¬

great credit on you as a first class poet and is a fair testimony

iiiiiiis mmmmk. 


I offer my prayers to tlae Almighty God, who created this 
Universe from his own will. His canopy is the heaven and 
carpet is the earth, his torch-bearers are the Sun and the Moon 
and all the animals are his dancers. He sees this dancing with 
pleasure; being gratified, He supplies them with rain, fruits, 
clothes, and corn in reward. 

I, again, bend my head to Him who made the human being 
the king of His creatures and endowed him with His know¬ 
ledge, protected him while in womb, produced milk for him 
in the breast of the mother. When a child he ( the human 
being ) played carelessly: the parents supplied him with fine 
ornaments and clothes, they showed him every consideration. 
When full-grown and still neglectful ot his Creator, he wast¬ 
ed his life, as if he lost a precious stone. Every body, there¬ 
fore, should be thankful to the Almighty Father, who created 
beings of great variety and made sovereigns to protect them, 
such as Her most Gracious Majesty the Queen Empress Kai- 
sar Hind whose benevolent rule and impartial Justice impar¬ 
ted, have made the people of India happy an^ free from fear. 

When the sun of the prosperity of the British Government 
rose up in the East, the darkness of injustice and plunder dis¬ 
appeared from this country. We cannot fully express our 
heart-felt gratitude to Her Majesty for the benefits which our 
Indian people have derived within the last fifty years of Her 
Majesty’s reign. The completion of the fifty years’ successful 


HTfWfWfWffffTfffffWfffWfft 







( 


reign of an English sovereign is called the Jubilee. At the 
celebration of this Jubilee the sovereign with his subjects en¬ 
joys great festivities and rejoicing, as was the case with the 
Jubilee of Her Majesty’s reign, which was celebrated, in In¬ 
dia on the 16th and 17th February 1887, and in England on 
the 21st June 1887. There was a general holiday in all the 
offices. Forces were paraded, the school boys were fed, pri¬ 
soners were released from the Jails, salute guns were fired, 
congratulatory speeches and addresses were made and present¬ 
ed, Darbars were held, cities and towns were illuminated, and 
fire-works were shown. All the merchants and tradesmen and 
shop-keepers decorated their premises, houses and shops with 
ever-green, flowers & buntings, and thus expressed their loyal 
feelings, in honor of the celebration of the Jubilee, through¬ 
out the length and breatdh of Her Majesty’s dominion. 

So did the rulers of Native States of India, especially, His 
Highness the Maharaja of Jodhpur, who got public offices 
built of stone at the cost of Rs. 350000 between the Raikabag 
and the city of Jodhpur, in memory of this gracious occasion; 
and sent his wise and able brother Sir Col. Pratap Singhji Sa¬ 
hib Musahib-Ala Raj Marwar, to London to be present at the 
celebration of Her Majesty’s Jubilee there and to congratu¬ 
late Her Majesty on his part for the same. 

As I have special connection with Maharajah Kishore 
Singhji Sahib, the commander-in-chief and brother to H. H. 
the Maharajah of Jodhpur, he earnestly desired me to write 
a book to commemorate the Jubilee. At this desire of his, 
my ambition was hightened as according to our sacred writ- 


SPflK 



















ings, although the Moon is bright, hut being placed in the 
forehead of Shiva she has got still brighter lustre and hence 
greater superiority for being worshipped by the Hindus. Now 
I lay my request before the able and learned persons that the 
Sanskrit language is very difficult one, and is not easily un¬ 
derstood, specially its prosody such as “Naikdbhed” Alank&r, 
Dhun, Yyanjand, Aunyokti, Prustar, Nasht, Uddisht, Meru, 
Paffikd Chittra Kdvya, and different kinds of its verses are 
most difficult, but by the grace of God, and by the kindness of 
my teachers and by my studies also, I would have written 
some thing on those subjects, but as I have to produce this 
book before the European officers of H. Majesty’s Government 
who like plain and simple compositions, as is evident from the 
style of their eminent authors. Besides this I also wish that 
those who have limited knowledge of Sanskrit, as well as the 
students of the schools and colleges, whose second language 
is Sanskrit may be benefitted by this little book. Owing to 
these reasons, this work has been composed in the simple 
Sanskrit poems. I have sanguine hopes that Her Majesty, 
the Kaisar Hind, His Excellency the Governor General Lord 
Dufferin, Col. Waltar the Agent Governor-General for Raj- 
putana, Col. Powlett the Resident of Jodhpur, His Highness, 
the Maharajah of Jodhpur and all brothers of His Highness, 
especially Col. Sir Pratap Singhji Sahib Musahib-Ala Raj 
Marwar and Shri M. Kishore Singhji Sahib the Commander- 
inchief of the Marwar forces, will be pleased with my humble 
exertion. I have written this book with tolerable accuracy 
and still I solicit the favour of my kind readers to correct the

mistakes (if any,) or to inform me of them so that I may be 
able to correct them in the next edition. 


RAILWAYS. 

Railway carriages are drawn by steam power, on the rails 
made of iron, with great speed. The steam is shut up and 
accumulated in an iron carriage called the engine. It has a 
machine by which, a man can move it speedily or slowly. This 
engine is kept foremost in the train and all the remaining 
carriages are connected behind it to each other fastened by 
iron chains in a row. The train can run a mile in a minute 
but to avoid breakage it is carried at the rate of a mile in two 
minutes. By means of Railways, the trade and commerce, 
are carried on easily. Because, the products of a country 
where they are abundant, and thus cheap and in a poor state, 
are carried easily to another country, where they are not pro¬ 
duced, and thus sold at a higher rate. The progress in com¬ 
merce and trade is the cause of the union of countries. 

In former times the commercial men and tradesmen had 
but a limited profit, as they had to pay higher hires and to 
sustain terrible losses on the disturbed roads. Now they enjoy 
double profit comparatively, with little labour. The journey 
of months is now reduced to days and that of days to hours. 
Besides this the earnings of the workmen have been increased. 
This system is the excellent invention of Wat. We should be 
thankful to Her Majesty, the Queen Empress of India under 
whose reign, this system was introduced.

STEAMER 

As the Railway train is carried* by the steam, so is the 
steamer drawn by it. It has two wheels moved by various 
machines and often it is kept in motion through the screw 
which placed near the helm and under water, both of them 
work by means of steam power. To move the steamer, slow¬ 
ly or speedily rests in the hand of a man. No seaward wind is 
required for it, besides this, there is but very little fear from 
the storm. By the assistance of the steamer, the communica¬ 
tions to and from London, Bengal, Ceylone, Madras, Aden, 
Jidda, Egypt, Arabia, Sind, China, Persia Bushire, Karachi 
&c. have been increased. Merchandise, letters, & news-papers 
are received very soon. The travellers and passengers, who 
have to go, under the trouble, on the disturbed roads, now 
have to travel without difficulty. 

TELEGRAPH. 

Before the establishment of the British rule in India the 
people of this country used to receive messages in months, 
and days, but at present under the auspicies of Her Majesty’s 
Govt, we receive our messages through the telegraph in hours 
and minutes, even from distant countries, whatever message 
be despatched the same is received without slightest mistake, 
at once. 

By the Grace of Almighty God, the telegraphic communi¬ 
cation has been introduced into this country. Innumerable 
thanks are due to Her Majesty for the convenience of the peo¬ 
ple of India.

POST-OFFICES. 

There are three kinds-of post-offices:-the first is that, the 
mails of which are carried by mail-carts &c. and these officeses 
are situated in the cities, towns and large villages. Second is 
the travelling post-office which works in a red-coloured car¬ 
riage and travels with the train, delivering and receiving mails 
on various stations. 

The 3rd. is that which works, into the steamers, receiving 
and delivering mails at the different sea-ports, by means of 
which the communications between different countries sepa¬ 
rated by a large portion of Ocean or which have no Railway¬ 
lines by land, are carried on, without difficulty. 

By means of registered article system, Money Order, post¬ 
card, different sorts of postage stamps, paid and unpaid let¬ 
ters and insurance, the pepole of this country are highly be¬ 
nefited, receiving letters, news-papers, and many things by 
by parcels. We must thank Her Majesty also for this good 
of the country. 

COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS. 

In large towns, there are Universities, where the students 
of that as well as of other provinces go to acquire the degrees. 
Next to the University is the College, where the students 
from the Zilla Schools go up to continue their higher studies. 
There is a Zilla School in every district and besides this there 
are numerous Vernacular public .village Schools nearly in 
every large village, where the boys and children of the Pat- 
warees and cultivators of all castes go to learn their lessons. 
There are also many Girl-schools where female teachers are

appointed to teach the girls who attend the schools. Every 
branch of science art and industry, is taught in these Colleges 
and Schools by competent and able teachers. Inspectors 
of Schools visit the Schools while on their tours, they exa¬ 
mine the students, & give them books, watches, hand-kerchiefs 
cash amount and sweatmeats in rewards and prizes. The 
knowledge, which our Benares Pandits used to acquire with 
great trouble, doing menial services to their teachers &c., is 
given gratis without trouble, to the sons of Patwaries and 
cultivators, under the auspicious rule of Her Majesty. 

ROAD ETC. 

Under Her Majesty’s benign rule the roads have been made 
both in land and water (for carriages and ships) so that the 
travellers who are not acquainted with the road, can reach 
their destinations, without any fear from wild animals; be¬ 
sides this, bridges, Sarai ( inns ) and public Offices have 
been built for the good of the people. Impartial laws have 
been framed, trees have been planted on both * sides of the 
roads, to shadow the travellers. Cannals, tanks, Bands and 
wells have been built. Lucifer matches, electric & gas-lights 
have been introduced, Police has been appointed for the pro¬ 
tection of the subjects. Ice machine and many other inven¬ 
tions have been brought into use. Dispensaries and Markets 
have been opened; the people are enjoying the benefits from 
minf mills, silver and gold mines, telescope spectacles of a 
varieties of watches, clocks and observatories &c. The people 
were never in such a place, even in the times of our well 
known Kings Vikram-Adittya and Yudhistir, as they are free 










( 8 ) 


from all fears, at present,, under tlie auspicious rule of Her 
Majesty. For these public goods, Pandit Lalcband gives his 
best thanks to Her Majesty’s Government. 

THE EMPERIAL ASSEMBLAGE DELHI. 

The important assemblage took place on the 1st of Ja¬ 
nuary 1877 at Delhi. Her Majesty took the title of Kaisar 
Hind or the Empress of India. All the Rajas and Mahara¬ 
jas, Nawabs, Chiefs Sardars, the editors and correspondents 
of News-papers, the Civil and Military officers and the trad¬ 
ing Merchants were invited to join it. The seats for the Na¬ 
tive chiefs were arranged in a semi-circular form. The num¬ 
ber of salute guns of the chiefs in general, was increased, 
and, they received high honors, such as, the banners and titles 
, on this gracious occasion. 

THE RAWALPINDI DARBAR. 

This gathering was held to witness the Camp of exercise 
which took place here. The army was divided into two di¬ 
visions, the one attacking the other and this defending itself. 

They were stationed from Umbala to Dehli. Both the 
attack and defence were pretty well. This was the spe- 
.<4| cimen of a real fight, only the balls, shots or any kind of wea- 
-«#; pons were not used. The cavalry, the artillery and the in- 
*4 fantry were equally on command. Many of the Native chiefs 
4| and tlieir generals attended it. The Amir ot Cabul named 
Abdur Rahiman Ilhaii also was invited and he attended the 
Darbar, 

His Excellency the Viceroy and-Governor-General treated 
the Amir kindly and warmly. Money, Guns and Rifles &c.

were given to him as present. Then the Amir left for Cabul. 
THE CALCUTTA EXHIBITION. 

This Exhibition was held in 1884. The important pro¬ 
ducts, arts &c. and industry of the country were exhibited. 
There were different courts for the goods of different pro¬ 
vinces and countries. 

Nearly all the Maharajas and Chiefs of India visited it and 
they purchased various valuable things from the Exhibition. 

The courts were beautifully decorated and many persons 
came out to visit them from distant countries. 

THE PESHAWAR DARBAR 

This Darbar was held in November 1887 when His Excel¬ 
lency the Viceroy and Governor General returned from his 
frontier tour. A large elephant procession with a grand dis¬ 
play passed through the city which was magnificiently deco¬ 
rated. 

In this Darbar, all the frontier Chiefs and tribes were pre¬ 
sent. His Excellency read out his Persian speech, the con¬ 
tents of which were as follows. 

Where-ever His Excellency went on his frontier tour he 
found the chiefs and tribesmen loyal and their conduct was 
satisfactory. 

His Excellency was highly pleased to see the chiefs and 
tribesmen maintaining peace througout the country, where 
His Excellency paid a flying visit. 

BATTLE OF CRECY. 

This battle was fought between the French and the Eng¬ 
lish on the 26th August 1346. Tbe French far out-numbered 










the English, but they were undisciplined and ill-led and their 
Genoese cross-bowmen, whose bow-strings had just been so 
wetted by a shower as to be almost useless, gave way before 
the terrible volleys of the English archers, still there was 
sharp-fighting, and at one time Edward, Prince of Wales, a 
lad of 16 on his first campaign was sorely pressed that a 
knight was sent to bis father to beg for reinforcements. The 
king, on learning that his son was neither slained nor wounded 
refused. “Let the boy win bis spurs,” be said “that is, prove 
himself worthy of knight-hood”: & gallantly they were won. 
“Fair son” said the king at the end of the day, embracing the 
young Prince, “God give you perseverance ! you are my son 
for loyally you have acquitted yourself this day; you are wor¬ 
thy to hold land.” 

From E. Thomson’s History of England. 
BATTLE OF ASSAYE. 

Assaye a small village in Hindustan Berar Province situ¬ 
ated 28 miles North of Jaulna, and two hundred and twenty 
North-East from Bombay, is chiefly remarkable as to the spot 
where the battle was fought, on September 23rd 1803 bet¬ 
ween the British and Native forces under Wellington, then 
General Wellesley and the combined armies of Daulat Rao 
Sindhia and the Raja of Bergir. The forces under Wallesley 
amounted to 14300 of which 4500 were brought into action. 
The combined Indian army is variously stated at 30000 to 
50000, and of these about 10000 were regularly disciplined 
infantry commanded by the French officer. Notwithstanding 
this desperity of numbers, the enemy was completely routed, 














and British supremacy established in India. Ninety-eight 
pieces of cannon, 7 standards, the camp aquipage and a large 
quantity of ammunition, fell into the hands of Victors. The 
slain on the side of the British Indian army, amounted tol566 
men killed and wounded, on that of the confederates to 1200.

BATTLF OF WATERLOO. 

Not a year had passed when Bonaparte returned to France 
where he was again received as a Ruler. His old soldiers ral¬ 
lied round him, while the Allied powers whose representatives 
were then sitting at Viena to settle the affairs of Europe, de¬ 
clared him an outlaw and made ready for war, Great Britain 
granted large subsidies, to her allies, whose finances were so 
exhausted that without such an assistance they would have 
been unable to move. The English Commander-in-chief, now 
Duke of Wellington, and the Prussian General Blucher ga¬ 
thered their forces together in the Netherlands. Bonaparte 
designing to interpose between the British and the Prussian 
armies, and to overthrow them separately, crossed the frontier 
to attack them on their own ground. After severe engage¬ 
ments between the English and the French at Quartre Bras, 
and the French and the Prussians at Signy, 16th June 1815 
Wellington and Buonaparte joined battle near Waterloo, 
June 18. The day was stubbornly contested, the British 
standing with the utmost firmness for more than 5 hours un¬ 
til the Prussians as they had promised, came up to their sup¬ 
port. The Imperial guard, the flower of the Buonaparte’s 
army, then advancing to the charge against the British was

driven back; upon this Buonaparte seeing that all was lost, 
fled and the victory was complete. The British and the 
Prussians entered Paris; while Buonaparte, finding it impos¬ 
sible to carry out his design of escaping to the United-States 
surrendered himself on board the British Man-of-war Bellero- 
phon, and was sent by the allied sovereigns captive to the 
Island of St. Helena, a British possession where he ended 
his days, May 5, 1821.

THE CELEBRATION OF JUBILEE IN INDIA. 

Her Majesty’s Jubilee celebration in India was an uncom¬ 
mon instance, with great pomp & grandeur on the 16th & 17th 
June 1887. A great rejoicing and festival was kept up for 2 
days in all the Native States as well as in British India. There 
was a general holiday in all the offices and schools, large 
Darbars were held in cities and towns, salute guns were fired, 
cities were illuminated, fireworks displayed, speeches and ad¬ 
dresses were delivered. The Native chiefs showed their loyalty 
warmly to the Government. Dancing and singing parties 
were given, schools boys were fed, prisioners were released 
from the jails. Many schools, offices, & bridges were built in 
the memory to the Jubilee. Societies, Institutions and News¬ 
papers were set up and called after the J ubilee. Most hearty 
congratulations with thanks should be given to Her Majesty. 

JUBILEE CELEBRATION IN LONDON. 

I have been favored with this account by Chaubay Khub 

Chand one of the followers of His Highness Maharaja Holkar, 
(in his London trip.) The population of London was about 














( 13 ) 


5 Millions and is equal to a territory 12 miles long & 8 miles 
broad i. e. nearly 125 square miles. 

London is the Capital of England, and is situated on both 
the banks of the River Thames. 

Her Majesty’s Jubilee was celebrated here on the 21st of 
June 1887. Almost all the ruling princes of India, Members 
of the foreign Royal families, Merchants and correspondents 
of the newspapers, Ambassadors, Agents and Representatives 
of Native Princes of India, Military and Civil officers and the 
representatives of nearly all the Nations in the World attended 
the ceremony, that is to say, there was no country, religion 
or community in the world whose members were absent on 
this gracious occasion. 

HER GRACIOUS MAJESTY VICTORIA ALEXANDRIA 
THE QUEEN EMPRESS OF INDIA 
Victoria means, Victorious and Alexandrina means Majes¬ 
tic, like Alexander the Great, because Her Majesty is Victo¬ 
rious, prosperous, and Majestic like the said Greek King. Her 
Majesty’s Dominions are far larger than those of the renown¬ 
ed Greek King; Viz—India with its adjacent Islands, and 
England with its neighbouring Isles, that is Ceylon, Singha- 
pur Malacca, Australia, New-zealand, Southern Africa, Ame¬ 
rica, Canada and the Islands about it. 

All men know that the Sun does not rise and set at the 
one and the same time in every country: besides this, the Do¬ 
minions of Her Majesty are very large therefore it is a well 
known fact that the Sun never sets in the Dominions of Her 
Majesty, that is the sun is always shining in one of the parts 
of Her Majesty’s Dominions. 









( 14 ) 


Whatever praise may be said of Her Majesty still much of 
it remains, which is beyond expression. In short whatever 
good qualities the parents wish to be in their children and 
children wish them to be in their parents, all of them are found 
in Her Majesty. Owing to the lamentable death of Her Ma¬ 
jesty’s husband and mother, Her Majesty always likes to live 
in lone-liness. At the same time there is no difference in the 
discharge of the sovereign free and impartial justice to the 
subjects. All of the subjects should pray for her long life and 
happiness, who is so kind and just and under whose reign the 
people of this country enjoy undisturbed peace. 

THE JUBILEE CELEBRATION AT JODHPUR. 

The Jubilee marks the most important event of the year. 
It was observed with great eclat in February 1887, in Mar- 


war. 


( I ) There was a Grand Darbar of the Nobles, Sirdars 
and high officials of the State, held on the evening 
of the 17th February at Rai-ka-bag. 

( 2 ) An Imperial salute of 101 guns was fired. 

( 3 ) A review of the Marwar forces was held. 

( 4 ) A permanent Jubilee memorial was adopted, 

( 5 ) A dinner and BALL was provided. 

( 6 ) 50 prisioners were released. 

( 7 ) A general holiday was observed. 

( 8 ) There were illuminations and pyrotechinc works. 
On the 17th February 1887, the grand Darbar was held 
at Rai-ka-bag at 5 O’ clock in the evening. 

All the ladies and gentlemen having taken their respective 









( 15 ) 


seats, His Highness the Maharaja arrived in due course, and 
was received with a few sepoys of the cavalry and infantry, 
who were arranged in review order, the bands playing, “God 
save the Queen” The formal business of the Darbar being 
over, Major E. A. Fraser, Additional Political Agent and 
Guardian to the Heir-Apparent of Jodhpur in the absence of 
Col. Powlett the Resident, who was unavoidably prevented 
by some important Boundry works, in the Sirohi Border, rose 
and read the following address on behalf of His Highness the 
Maharaja, the Vernacular translation of the same being read 
by Munshi Hardayal Sinha Secretary to the Musahib-Ald. 

ADDRESS. 

“Ladies, gentlemen and Sardars, I rise by desire of H. H. 
the Maharaja of Jodhpur and in the unavoidable absence of 
Col. Powlett, the Resident, on other duty, to adress a few 
words to this assembly. In the first place H. H. wishes me 
to state briefly what has been done in Jodhpur to commemo¬ 
rate Her Majesty’s Jubilee, as possibly some of those present 
are not fully acquainted with the arrangements that have been 
-made. A sum of Rs. 15000 has been granted in aid of the Ins¬ 
titute in London. The public offices which are in course of 
construction at an esimate of over 3^ lacks of Rupees will be 
considered as permanent memorials of this occasion. 

A portrait in oils of His Highness’s son and heir Sardar- 
Sinh is to be presented t:> the Queen Empress. 

Further a grand Darbar of the Nobles and the officisls 
of the State is held this day, with the review of the troops, to 
be followed by illumination and fire-works. The release of 











il

( 16 ) 






50 prisioners from the jail, Royal salute, school feasts, chant* 
able gifts and alms to the poor and banquets. 

Similar holidays, illuminations and festivities have also 
been arranged in the districts away from the Capital. 

His Highness has tried in every way to make the occasion 
as much as possible one of the public and general rejoicings. 

It affords the Maharaja great pleasure to see you around 
him to day and to feel that the hearts of all present are stirred 
by a true spirit of loyalty & devotion to our wise, noble, and 
gracious Sovereign, the Queen Empress, whose love and sym¬ 
pathy towards all classes in her Eastern Dominions has been 
so freely given during her long and prosperous reign. 

Ruling chiefs in the position of the Maharaja are well 
aware how intimately the security of their States is connected 
with the permanence and stability of the great Empire which 
the event of the past half century, have served to develope 
and consolidate. 

May long live H. H. the Maharaja of Jodhpur, who is 
glorious and loyal to the British Crown. May he enjoy hap¬ 
piness, with all his brothers and family. This is the prayer 
of Pandit Lai Chand. 

H. R H. THE PRINCE OF WALES. 

His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, visited India in 
1876. Rajahs Maharajahs, chiefs and people of India, who 
cannot go to England were satisfied to see H. R. H. the son 
of their Empress here. H. R H. made many Native Princes, 
his honourary Aide-de-camp and bestowed the medal thereof 
on them especially ou Maharaja Ivishore Sinhji Sahib, the 












Commander-in-Chief of the Mar war Forces and brother to 
His Highness, the Maharaja of Jodhpur received both of the 
above mentioned honours, at the hands of His Royal High- 
nees with great pleasure. Besides this, His Royal Highness 
appointed Maharajadhiraj Col. Sir Pratap Sinh, the brother 
of the above-mentioned Maharaja of Jodhpur, his Aide-de- 
camp and gave him the medal thereof and showed him special 
kindness bestowing upon him, these honours for his life, pay¬ 
ing the price of the medal from this Royal Bighness’ own 
pocket. At the present Silver Wedding of their Royal High¬ 
nesses Her Majesty the Queen Empress, in person paid a vi¬ 
sit of congratulation at their R. Highnesses, at Marlborough 
House, and remained at the banquet which was held there in 
the evening, at which the Royal Princes, and other members 
of the Foreign Royalties, were also present. In celebration 
of the event, London was gorgeously illuminated. 

Pandit Lalchand, gives his best congratulation, on this 
Wedding to their Royal Highnesses. May long live, their R. 
Highnesses, the Prince and Princess of Wales, under the 
protection, of Her Majesty. 

His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edenborough. 

H. R. H. the Duke of Edenborough also, visited -this 
country and thus, the chiefs, and the people, had an opportu¬ 
nity, fo seeing the son of their sovereign in their own country. 
General rejoicing was kept up throughout the country. Great 
enthusiasm was shown in giving H. R. H. entertainments, 
with dancing and singing, fireworks, and illumination. By 
the grace, of the Almighty God, H. R. Highness, returned to 



















Lis native land, safely, after visiting the important places in 
India. May long live the Duke, the son of our Gracious Em¬ 
press in sound health. 

To be presented to H. R. H. the Duke of Connought, 
Commander-in-Chief of Bombay. 

1. Her Majesty the Queen Empress of India, has been 
very gracious to send your R. H., with Her Royal H. the 
Duchess of Connought, to India. 

2. We the people of India, who cannot go to England, 
owing to certain causes, and cannot see Her Majesty have the 
good fortune, to see your Royal Highness here.

we see Her Majesty; according to our sacred writing “a son 
is the image of the parent’.’ 

4. Your Royal Highness’s appointment as the Comman¬ 
der-in-Chief of the Bombay Presidency is our good luck. 

We offer our congratulations on your Highness’s this ap¬ 
pointment. 

5. May your R. H. with your family and brothers en¬ 
joy happy and glorious life for ever, under the protection of 
Her Majesty.

SPEECH BY HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF 
CONNOUGHT OF THE VOLUNTEER ARTILLERY CORPS 
Bombay 14th February 1888. 

This morning the Duke of Connought inspected the Ar¬ 
tillery Corps addressing the men H. R. H. said:-“when your 
corps was first raised it was considered questionable whether 
Volunteer Artillery here would be a success; but the few 
months you have been in existence has removed all doubts, 
and Major Roughton is to be congratulated upon the grati¬ 
fying results which;his great care and attention have achieved. 
I am convinced the movement was one in the right direction 
and that each member of the corps has devoted due and proper 
attention to his duty, you have done a great deal of useful 
work; but remember that there is much to be done. I know 
you have laboured under difficulties, but hope here may be 
some means by which you will be enabled to drill under more 
favourable circumstances and to have head-quarters of your 
own, with dummy gens and stores close at hand. In your 
past drills you have had all the disadvantages of makeshift 
arrangement which I trust will be speedily improved upon. 

I am very glad you have come forward to form this corps for 
both here and in Calcutta, Volunteer A. tillery corps were 
much needed. Owing to the many calls for artillery in all 
parts of India some auxiliary assistance in these garrisons was 
necessary. I am therefore very much pleased to find that so 
great an interest is being taken by you in your work, and to 
see you have attained such proficiency.” 

May God keep such a Duke safe and healthy and pro¬ 
long his life for ever. This is the prayer of Pandit Lalchand.

ROYALTY AT A NATIVE WEDDNIG 
On Wednesday, at the invitation of Mr. Vurjeevandas 
Madhavadas, the head of well-known & ancient Madhavadas 
Rnnchhordas family, and of Mr. Herkissandas. Narotamdas 
Mr. Vurjeevandas’s nephew, their Royal Highnesses the Duke 
and Duchess of Connought were pleased to honour by their 
presence the performance of the marriage ceremonies at Bom¬ 
bay of Mr. Harkissunda’s daughter. 

This is the first joyous occasion, when the member of 
the English Royalty, the son of our Most Gracious Queen 
Empress, joined in the marriage ceremony of a principal na¬ 
tive gentleman (the subject of Her Majesty. ) Owing to this 
cause the whole of the Indian subjects are extremely loyal to 
1 Her majesty, such as the people were faithful and loyal to the 
Emperor Akbar and many Rajputes sacrificed their lives in 
his cause, in many battles against his formidable enemies. 
May God protect Her majesty for ever, this is the prayer of 
Pandit Lalchand. 


HIS EXCELLENCY LOBD DUFFERIN THE VICEROY AND 
GOVERNOR GENERAL OF INDIA. 


The people of India generally are praising Lord Dufferin 
who tried his best to make the Indian population happy and 
appreciated the loyalty and knowledge thereof bestowed upon 
^ them the honors and the titles with the medals such as H. Ex 
cellency did upon three Pandits at Benares, at the opening of 
the Dufferin Bridge there. AHso Pandit Lalchand wishes to 
rceeive similar honors at His Excellency’s hands, as the re- 












( 21 ) _ 

ward for his work [“The Jubilee Pramodika” H. Excellency’s 
sweet speeches filled the hearts of Aryans with pleasure, and 
the eloquent speeches were agreeable to their ears. His Ex¬ 
cellency always has extreme consideration to obey the Views 
of H. Majesty’s orders. He gave at all times, advice knowledge 
and ease to the subjects and made the chiefs and tribesmen 
happy while on his frontier tour and opened a bridge across 
the Ganges at Benares in his name. 

I write an address as a congratulation at the opening of 
the Bridge. 

ADDRESS 

0 Lord Dufferin ! thou, by openinglthe comfortable bridge 
hast removed the troubles which the inhabitants of Kashi had 
to suffer from rtin, cold, air, Bailway and Sun when they had 
no bridge over the River. These troubles could not be re¬ 
moved by any one except God. 

Thou hast opened the Dufferin Bridge for the comfort of 
the people. May this act of benevolence prolong thy life. 
Thou with thy family mayst ever enjoy happy and glorious 
life. 

By thy justice lion and goat, having forsaken their natu¬ 
ral enmity drink water at one spot. As thou art the hero of 
heroes, so thou mayst live with glory. The opening of the 
bridge may be welcome to thee. This is the prayer of Pan¬ 
dit Lalchand. Yours well-wisher

GOVERNMENT SECRETARIES. 

I have to thank the Govt. Secretaries and other European 
high Officials of Her Majesty’s Government who have been 
kind enough to favor me, with the letters of thanks, as men¬ 
tioned below. I have written more than one Shlokes (stanza) 
in honor of each of them. 

Foreign, Military and Private Secretaries to the Govern - 
nors of Bombay and Madras, His Excellency, the Comman¬ 
der-in-chief of India the Commissioners of Delhi & Benares. 

Col. Waltar, the Agent Governor General for Rajputana. 

Col. Waltar has tried his best to benefit the people and 
treated the ruling chiefs with great kindness and honoured 
them with titles and medals by visiting the capitals of their 
states such as he did to H. H. the Maharana of Udeypur, as 
follows:— 

INVESTITURE AT UDEYPUR 
The Mah&rfin&a of Udeypur, on the 10th December, Satur¬ 
day afternoon was invested with the insignia of Grand Com¬ 
mander of the Star of India by Col. Walter, in brilliant Dar- 
bar, held in outer Court of the palace. 

In investing H. H. CM. WalteUsaid the pleasure of being 
a few days in Udeypur again enhanced the pleasure he felt in 
presenting the Maharana with the insignia of an Order insti¬ 
tuted as the highest mark of Royal favour for important ser¬ 
vices. Mew&r had been ever faithful to the British Crown & 
he only hoped the Star of the house would ever shine bright. 
The Star about the Maharana’s breast and the collar might to 
regarded as symbols of the links in the chain of loyalty and 


ifWfffffWffwwwfwywfywfWfwwyitfff Tywttff i 









( 23 ) 


friendship which always bound Mewar to the British Empire. 

I beg to offer my heart feft congratulations to H. H. the 
Maharana upon this mark of Imperial appreciation, which 
have been bestowed on him. Long may he live and the admir¬ 
ing affection gratitude, and loyalty of his people and in the 
enjoyments of the confidence of our beloved Queen Empress. 

Col. P. W. Powlett the Resident of Jodhpur. 

Since his appointment in the Jodhpur Residency, he has 
made the people happy and the Native States have received 
innumerable benefits at his hands. May God, keep him in 
Rajputana with continued promotion. Such as a kind-hearted 
Official can be found by good luck, for this reason we Mar- 
waries are very fortunate to have him as our Resident May 
God keep him in sound health and give prolonged life. 

THANKS TO GO!) THIO ALMIGHTY CRKATOR. 

I write seven Shlokes ( stanzas) in ce ebration, as thanks 
to the Almighty Creator, who has been kind enough to make 
me finish the book, without any obstacle. 

Chaubey Raghnath Prasad the translator of the book. 

In conclusion, I have to thank my worthy friend, Chaubey 
Raghunath Prasad, the late Head Master of the Rampur Ro- 
helkhand School and the late Naib Vakil, Indore Darbar in 
the Residency Indore who has assisted me in my composition 
furnishing me with important matters as well as translating 
the book for me. I have found Raghnath Prasad by the 
PRASAD (favor) of Raghunath (Ram) Vishnu (the supreme 
being of the Hindus.)

rules of marriage and began to marry girls under 12 years of

On this thou being very kind & taking pity on the people 
( the Hindus) re-established the old rules laid down by our 
ancestors in |our religious books for marriage, in consequence

They who follow their old religion consider thee as their

those who are unjust and cruel regard thee like “ Jamraj ” 
( a deity who deals punishment) just as the sky appears in 
different colours ^possessed by the glasses through which it is 
seen. 6.
